Best Documentary Nominee: British Film Awards 2007 Garbage Warrior is a feature-length documentary, directed by Oliver Hodge, which tells the story of maverick architect Michael Reynolds and his fight to introduce radically sustainable housing. An extraordinary tale of triumph over bureaucracy, Garbage Warrior is above all an intimate portrait of an extraordinary individual and his dream of changing the world. Imagine a home that heats itself, provides its own water, grows its own food. Imagine that it recycles its own waste and has its own power source. Imagine that it can be built anywhere, by anyone, out of the things society throws away. Thirty years ago Michael Reynolds imagined just such a home and then set out to build it. Shot over 3 years in the USA , India and Mexico , this film shows Reynolds and his crew of renegade house builders in their fight to introduce radically different construction methods. “ Garbage Warrior is an intimate portrait of an extraordinary individual and his dream of changing the world.” anonymous |
